Hi, I'm using the ATI Proprietary Linux driver fglrx-driver v8.28.8-4 under Debian Testing, xorg 7.1.0-8.
I managed to get the Dual Head working with aticonfig --initial=dual-head However, I am not able to make the mplayer play the movie on my TV. I.e., I can get my desktop to run fine on both displays, but when I run mplayer, xawtv, etc ... it runs fine on the monitor and on the TV or external display it just displays a green screen. I've done an extensive search, and found the answer myself: >From TV-out with ATI Radeon Video Cards http://fedoranews.org/contributors/youssef_makki/tvout/ _____________________________________________________ Mplayer only play the movie on the 'Primary' screen, you'll only see a blank mplayer window on the other display. _____________________________________________________ So I followed the advice to make my TV as Primary screen by adding the following line to the device section. Option "MonitorLayout" "STV,CRT" But still, my CRT is loaded as Primary screen, and mplayer won't play movies on my TV: $ grep 'Connected Display' /var/log/Xorg.1.log (II) fglrx(0): Connected Display1: CRT on primary DAC (II) fglrx(0): Connected Display2: TV on TVDAC Any helpful information would be appreciated. thanks a lot PS.
